Red Jacket Mountain View Resort is situated in the middle of the White Mountains — one of the best ski and snowboard areas in the country — so we put together four ski-and-snowboard packages to help our guests celebrate the snowy season. Not sure which mountain is your best fit? Take a look below! Competitive when it comes to the slopes? Make sure you also review our Vertical Challenge Package, which is brand new this season.

Family-friendly Cranmore Mountain is a staple in North American skiing. Opened in the winter of 1937-38, the mountain is less than two miles away from Red Jacket Mountain View Resort & Water Park in North Conway, N.H. — recently named the No. 2 Best Ski Town in North America in a USA Today readers’ poll. Cranmore offers training for skiers as young as 3 years old and its instructors don’t discriminate against us adults, with packages for new-to-the-sport folks ages 13 and older. The Discovery Zone is free with the purchase of any lift ticket. It’s set up to be a self-guided progression area with signs and instructions worth exploring if you’re new to skiing and snowboarding or just want to get your snow legs activated after hibernating for a year. Skiing and snowboarding aren’t the only things to do on Cranmore, either. There are other activities like tubing and the Mountain Adventure Park to get your adrenaline pumping, and six dining options open daily like Red Sled Burritos and Zip’s Pub & Grill.

The mountain is open most days from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., but hours are subject to change.

Attitash packs an options-punch with 68 trails and 11 lifts spread across two mountains: Attitash and Bear Peak. The short driving distance means within 20 minutes of leaving Red Jacket Mountain View, you can be queuing up the mountain for your first run of the day. There are 311+ total skiable acres at Attitash, so you won’t have to worry about getting bored with scenery as you traverse the trails (23 miles of them), which are rated 27% most difficult, 44% intermediate and 29% novice. An added bonus at Attitash is the Abenaki Terrain Park, which is packed with unique rails and jibs for freeskiers and snowboarders looking to do more than just head downhill. After you’ve had your fill on the mountain, get your fill of grub at one of seven dining destinations at Attitash, like Bear Beak Cafeteria or Waffle Cabin at Bear Peak.

Fun fact: The Den, a full-service dining and bar destination located in the Bear Peak Base Lodge, has live music every Saturday.

Attitash is open daily, with midweek hours from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. and weekend/holiday hours from 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. Visit the Attitash website for more information.

Red Jacket Package Details: Attitash and Wildcat Ski Package
This fantastic ski package includes the best rate on lodging as well as a discounted lift ticket for both Attitash and Wildcat Mountain. No need to choose when you can ski or snowboard both on the same day. Visit the package page to learn more and book!

Attitash’s sister mountain, Wildcat Mountain, offers more than 2,100 vertical feet of skiing and snowboarding, including 12 black diamonds for the daredevils of the ski and snowboard worlds. On the opposite end of the experience spectrum, Wildcat also has the longest novice ski trail in New Hampshire, Polecat Trail, which is 2.75 miles from the summit. The mountain’s five lifts, including a high-speed detachable quad, make getting around the mountain easy and it’s even easier to unwind at the two on-site dining options: the Wildcat Cafeteria and the Wildcat Pub.

Pro tip: Lift tickets at Attitash and Wildcat are interchangeable, so if you want to change things up, head 20 minutes down the road to give the other mountain a try.

Wildcat is open Monday-Friday (non-holidays) from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. and on holidays, Saturdays and Sundays from 8:30 – 4 p.m.

Your mountainside adventure doesn’t have to end when the lifts stop for the day. Head back to your cozy accommodations at Red Jacket Mountain View when you book one of our ski-and-snowboard packages, and warm up at our indoor water park, Kahuna Laguna — it’s always 84 degrees there! Or, thaw out at our outdoor fire pit with s’mores, or sip an fireside cocktail indoors in the Valley View Room with bites from Palmer’s Pub.
